Element dyn.pr. Disbelief ↔ Faith

accepting something as certain without proof

Faith is a belief in something without the support of proof. Since the future is uncertain, Faith in one's ability to arrive at one's purpose is a very strong motivator. However, when one has Faith, it cannot be argued with since it does not rely on logic or proof. The danger of Faith is that it does not allow one to determine if obstacles are signs that ones motivations are misplaced, because the obstacles seem to be tests that must be overcome through steadfast belief.

syn. acceptance without proof, steadfast belief, confidence in unproven, credence, unquestioned trust
